And then...they just DID IT! "I was just telling myself, this is your body, just have fun with it, work it."

"I got into the groove of it -- there was no judgment in that room."

"It feels very liberating."

Afterwards, they reflected on the experience. "It was pretty crazy having 12 people in a half-circle around you, staring at you."

But in a good way.

Then, they got to see the drawings that the class had made of them.

"Oh my gosh. After doing this, I think my relationship with my body is a lot better.

"I look at these pictures and I look at the parts of me that sometimes I have issues with. They obviously don't see it the way I do, and that's just really nice to know."

Didn't expect figure drawing to give me the feels, TBH.
